TGC repeat expansion in the TCF4 gene increases the risk of Fuchs’ endothelial corneal dystrophy in Australian cases

Fuchs’ endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD) is a progressive, vision impairing disease. Common single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and a trinucleotide repeat polymorphism, thymine-guanine-cytosine (TGC), in the TCF4 gene have been associated with the risk of FECD in some populations. We previousl...
